mondeo

Get €100 off a Xiaomi 11 lite 5G NE on Three network. Bargain at €229 when you port your number !! Even better the phone is NOT locked to Three despite what they tell you ! So you can simply port your number back to your favourite network after you get the phone.. At €229 its a proper bargain for the spec your getting ! Go go go

ECookie13

Where do you get the e100 off? I cannot see where it is mentioned.

mondeo

I did it in store today, 329 if you buy it with a sim or 229 when you port your number over. Pop into Three before the year ends before the offer runs out.

Did you get the dual sim version?

wanderer 22

Apologies for the basic questions , I'm useless with phones...so I'm with 48 at the moment. Can I just buy this at a 3 store, get my number transferred to 3, then change back to 48 later? Do I need to top up in store? Thanks OP btw, looks like a great offer.

You have to port over in store yes, and top up minimum €15. Buy the phone for €229 and then simply port back to 48 soon as you can. Phone is yours.

6GB ram, enough for most peoples daily use, unless your a big gamer or a heavy app switcher.

It's 8 GB RAM with 128 GB storage on mine, just picked up in the store

I'm thinking of upgrading my Redmi Note 9. Would the Mi 11 Lite 5G here be a good choice? I was also looking at the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Redmi Note 10 Pro looks superior to this if you can live without 5g.

Thanks. I'm on GoMo so the 5G doesn't bother me. I see Tesco mobile are selling to the 10 Pro for €269.99 which isn't bad. I have been checking Amazon also as they usually do deals for Xiaomi phones but it's temporarily out of stock at the moment on there. I will have to read up on them more. Would the 10 Pro have a much better camera?

spongbob

hey everyone., I am a samsung user, lagging behind with an S9, it does my daily tasks and is a good solid phone, I often wondered what the Redmi phones are like in comparison to samungs? has anyone here left samsung handsets to go with Redmi and where they happy with them?

Bite the bullet. local store was out of stock so ended up ordering online through three website. they promise next day delivery but didn't happened in my case due to the holidays. ordering online the bonus is that you don't have to pay for the top up. just select a plan and when option comes to customize it just choose later. so the final price will be €229.

Can you check and confirm the model number of your device? thanks

cakedrive

For those who already have the phone, does it have the ability (in phone dialler - settings - call recording settings) to record phone calls?

Some reviews say the feature isn’t available in every country.

is it vanilla android? Doesn't say if 6 ram or 8?

eh i dunno

Is this the best value phone for under €300?

Its a good one. Is it best? People could argue either way. Samsung Axx's are also decent. There are reasons to avoid Xiaomi potentially.

What you think of the phone? Seeing mixed reviews online about it.

emy

The review overall is good to very good, the only major thing is the display. There are two displays mounted on these phones: Tianma (delta) and Huaxing (pentile). It looks like the Tianma is lower quality. I am curious to see, who purchased it, what display is fitted on Three batch. Also there is a thread on XDA forum regarding this.

I have ordered one of this, (to port back the number to three) just now I got a message that it was shipped :( I thought the order will be cancelled. I remember a few years back, it was a very good offer for Samsung A40 €80, when arrived, it has a factory assembly defect, the LCD was not glued properly. I organized a replacement, but instead of replacing it, they refund the cost of it, saying to buy it again for €180....

Well, I have ordered it before finding out the issue with the display. I will see when I ll get it. I am wander, those who already got it from three, what display have.

Got the phone today. i can confirm it is 8 gb RAM and dual sim not locked to any network. i don't play games on phone so display looks fine to me. I think this phone is worth for €229.

ED E

Mine was waiting for me when I arrived home today. Note, not fully setup yet. Background: Current phone is not massively different 765G -> 778G. Display is 90 vs 60hz. A good bit thinner. Camera tbd. Fingerprint moved from rear to right was a concern, seems pretty snappy!

Mines the 2109119DG with 8GB and 128GB storage.

Unlocked: I think so, not branded, will confirm.

From XDA

After a bit of research I've found out that the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE (lisa) has exactly 2 types of panels - Tianma and CSOT. Comparison between the 2 can be found here. CSOT is supposed to be superior to tianma, but I am yet to come across any lisa unit or user with CSOT. Most of them are having Tianma.

Mines the CSOT panel. I've had really high DPI phones before (Find7 was 534 when most phones were 200 odd) and it doesnt look bad.

I see your post on XDA there Emy:

I purchased one, came today, it look like I have the bad quality display, although does not specify which brand it is. DisplayDxe: K9D 36 02 0a amoled dsc cmd

Compared with Pixel 4a 5G is whiter brightness (50%), not yellowish like Pixel 80% brightness.

....DisplayDxe: SetupPlatformPanelConfig of MDPPLATFORM_PANEL_K9D_CSOT_VTDR6130_FHD_PLUS_DSC_CMD

CSOT is another brand panel?

The pair used for NE differ from regular per above.

No 3.5mm headphone jack is a deal breaker for me.

Pity as specs are great and only weighs 159g

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118431039#Comment_118431039

It may or may not be worth mentioning but they include a 3.5mm headphone jack to USB-C convertor in the box.

Anyway, picked this up today. Unlocked. Beautiful phone, delighted with it, only thing I feel is missing is wireless charging. Made up though by the fast / turbo charging. Also love the IR remote feature.

Thanks OP.

mondeo

Delighted alot of you got the phone and are happy with it.

ED E

Warning - defaults to 60Hz! Remember to change it.

Does anyone else find the battery drain to be quite bad on this phone? Every night it drains 20-30% minimum overnight with wifi/4g etc. turned off.

And more. My main burner is cell standby. Gomo with decent reception (poor signal can cause cell hopping/battery burn).

Thanks, will try a few things. Was worried it was standard for this mid tier phone.

I found a YouTube video on how to save battery on the Note 10. There's a few videos on YouTube with tips. My one was always searching for a wireless printer! That improves performance a bit. Other stuff I can't remember. Have a look on YouTube.

mondeo

I find the battery absolutely fine, love the included turbo charger. It's the slimmest phone I have ever owned, in fact I am reluctant to put it in any tight pockets in case it bends. Xiaomi have promised 3 years updates with this phone so it's a long termer for me now. MIUI 13 is on the way soon to.

Just an update on this... My screen started to experience burn in. I could see the top bar icons for WiFi and cell signal burned in. Shame to see so early on and I rarely push the screen brightness beyond the half way mark. Maybe the screens are not the best Oleds out there.
